Probably the best known symbol of Germany, Brandenburger Tor has symbolized both peace and war, division and unity.
When Napoleon was defeated, the Quadriga was taken back to Berlin and again put on the Brandenburger Tor. In the mid-19th century, the Tor had become the symbol of Berlin, which is the reason why it was the only city gate left standing when all the others were torn down. During that century, the gate gradually turned into a triumphal arch for the Prussian army, and was regularly used for military parades. It was also the scene of the public revolt in 1848. In 1933, the Brandenburger Tor was used for a parade of the fascist regime when it assumed power.
